Good brand
This is the main brand I feed my dog, he seems to really love it. I’ve had no issues with it so far, and the ingredients are pretty good, he also prefers the chicken to the other flavours.

Dog likes
My older dog recently transitioned to this formula and he seems to be tolerating it well. So far no tummy issues. It is a little pricey for the amount you get.

Dog Refused to eat it.
My dog would not eat this food. We normally get the Adult version in the Red bag that is Beef & Brown Rice, and he loves that one. But this Senior chicken and brown rice, he tried about a handful. He won't touch it. I don't know what to do.

Amazing ingredients
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I heard this with their wet food and blue buffalo is always a great product to use for animals because everyone so self-conscious about them nowadays because we realize how bad ingredients are in food but blue buffalo never disappoints. My dogs absolutely love the dry food. They have allergies so chicken is always my go to.

Good For Convenience, it's easy to find in stores
Blue buffalo was my go to food for a long time. The chicken and brown rice formula is a good option to grab for dogs, but the last few times I had this dog food my dog wanted to eat just cat food, so I stopped using it, but it's decent and quality most of the time. My senior dog just didn't care for this variety as other kinds.

Good chicken based food
Great value and consistent size pieces and it gave my dog a good amount of energy. The packaging is attractive and well sealed too. Unfortunately my dog turned out to be allergic to chicken, so we had to change foods.

Not for senoir dogs
Gave my dogs bad gas and tummy aches. This is senior dog food and it’s harming my dogs. My dogs were throwing up. I don’t recommend. My sister in law gave this food but the regular adult one to her dog and was fine but mine almost died. That was not fun. I will definitely be returning this

Great quality senior dog food — just not suitable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always loved Blue Buffalo products for their quality ingredients and how well-balanced their formulas are, especially for senior dogs. The texture and nutritional value are great, and I appreciate that it’s made with real chicken and no artificial fillers. Unfortunately, my dog turned out to be allergic to brown rice, so we had to switch to a different formula. I still think this is an excellent option for dogs who can tolerate grains — it’s wholesome, easy to digest, and supports healthy skin and coat.

Best Dog Food Ever
My other dog had copper storage disease. I had Marvin checked and his enzymes were elevated. Common denominator was the food. I googled foods low in copper and it brought me to Blue Buffalo. His enzymes returned to normal within 2 months and he's been on it for 5 yrs now.
